Yup, I finally got my se7en to crank up tonight. After 7 weeks of assembly (working on it in my spare time) she is running. It actually should have started Saturday night but I had no spark. After chasing the problem for a few days, I finally figured out that the schematic provided for me was for a 2nd gen RX7 and the Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) was wired wrong. After I figured out the right way to wire it up, the car started right up.

The car still needs a lot of tuning but at least she will start up and idle now. Whew what a relief!

here are a few teaser pics

Special thanks goes out to Dale for answering several PM's that got me going in the right direction to getting the car started. Thanks Dale!

thanks guys:bigthumb, i've got a lot of work invested under that hood

I went with the LTX12 simply for the wideband 02 sensor option. It is not available on the LTX8.
